The whole room smells like smoke. My stomach twists itself into an annoyingly concerned knot— did Snow Go Off?

More importantly... is he okay?

I check the clock on my desk— it's an ungodly hour of the morning. Too early to be awake. Too early to deal with the problems of a boy who could kill me with a twitch of his hand. Too early to deal with unrequited feelings and an interminable crush. I should do what Snow said— piss off and go back to sleep. Simon Snow is a big boy, he can deal with his own damn problems.

And yet...

It is 2 in the morning. And Simon did Go Off.

"Fuck," I whisper, sitting up.

I have to go after him.

Damn you, Simon Snow. And damn the hold you have on me.
